Black rice is a type of glutinous rice, also known as black sticky rice. It has high levels of antioxidants giving it a superior nutritional value to other varieties of white rice. It also contains no amylose, which, in addition to making rice sticky, helps slow down digestion and lowers insulin levels.
Perfect for making South East Asian sticky rice puddings, but also great with savory dishes. Check out Ottolenghi's seared girolles with black glutinous rice, plus leek and lime gratin for inspiration!
